Comments on the location information

  • THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE COORDINATES FOR THE CHAISKOYE FIELDS WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT. THE CHAISKOYE FIELDS ARE LOCATED SOMEWHERE NORTH OF LAKE BAIKAL AND IN THE VACINITY OF THE IOKO-DOVYREN AND THE NYURUNDUKAN FIELDS, SO THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE COORDINATES OF THE IOKO-DOVYREN AND THE NYURUNDUKAN FIELDS WERE USED AS THE COORDINATES FOR THE CHAISKOYE FIELDS. THESE COORDINATES ARE THE SAME, SINCE THESE THREE FIELDS ARE LOCATED IN THE SAME PROXIMITY.
